Recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a highly aggressive cancer that begins in the nasopharynx, located in the upper throat behind the nose. It frequently spreads to distant organs and arises due to genetic mutations, Epstein-Barr virus infection, and environmental factors that disrupt normal cellular growth, leading to uncontrolled tumor development and progression.
Recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma treatment involves chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapies to inhibit tumor growth, prolong survival, and manage disease-related symptoms in advanced or resistant cases. In October 2023, Junshi Biosciences’ Loqtorzi™ (toripalimab-tpzi) received FDA approval. This PD-1 inhibitor is approved for all treatment lines, either combined with cisplatin and gemcitabine or as monotherapy post-platinum chemotherapy, establishing a new standard of care.
The global burden of head and neck cancer (HNC) remains significant, with over 660,000 new cases and 325,000 deaths annually, making it the seventh most common cancer worldwide, according to Qiongyuan Hu et al., 2025. As per the National Foundation for Cancer Research, an estimated 71,110 new cases and 16,110 deaths are expected in the United States in 2024, accounting for 4% of all cancers. According to Alok Rastogi et al., 2024, Asia accounts for 57.5% of HNC cases, with India reporting over 200,000 new cases annually, predominantly in males, and a rising incidence among younger populations. These epidemiological trends underscore the urgent need for advancing therapeutic options in recurrent and metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

The recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma pipeline analysis report covers 50+ drug analyses based on drug classes:
By Route of Administration
The pipeline assessment report covers 50+ drug analyses based on the route of administration.
The report covers phase I, phase II, phase III, phase IV, and early-phase drugs. The coverage includes an in-depth analysis of each drug across these phases. According to EMR analysis, phase II, with 55%, covers a major share of the total recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma clinical trials. It is followed by phase III at 31% and phase I at 14%. The strong representation in Phase II and III highlights robust clinical development, signaling potential approvals, increased treatment options, and growth opportunities in the market.
The drug molecule categories covered under the recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma pipeline analysis include small molecules, monoclonal antibodies, gene therapies, and polymers. The recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma report provides a comparative analysis of the drug classes for each drug in various phases of clinical trials for recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Targeted antibody-drug conjugates are emerging as a promising approach in recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma. For instance, Iza-bren, a topoisomerase 1 inhibitor-based bispecific ADC targeting both EGFR and HER3, is under evaluation. It works by blocking proliferative signaling pathways and delivering a cytotoxic payload to cancer cells, thereby improving objective response rates and progression-free survival in heavily pretreated NPC patients.
The EMR report for the recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma pipeline covers the profile of key companies involved in clinical trials and their drugs under development. It provides a detailed recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma therapeutic assessment, analyzing the competitive dynamics of the clinical trial landscape. Below is the list of a few players involved in recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma clinical trials:
This section covers the detailed analysis of each drug under multiple phases, including phase I, phase II, phase III, phase IV, and emerging drugs for Recurrent or Metastatic Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma. It includes product description, trial ID, study type, drug class, mode of administration, and recruitment status of Recurrent or Metastatic Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma drug candidates.
YL201 is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) sponsored by MediLink Therapeutics (Suzhou) Co., Ltd., currently recruiting in a Phase III study for recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma. This study is assessing whether YL201 prolongs overall survival (OS) and improves objective response rate (ORR) compared with investigator’s choice of chemotherapy in patients who have failed prior PD-(L)1 inhibitors and at least two lines of chemotherapy. YL201 selectively targets B7-H3, overexpressed in tumor cells, delivering cytotoxic agents directly. It is administered intravenously and is being evaluated for efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity.
HLX43, sponsored by Shanghai Henlius Biotech, is an Anti-PD-L1 antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) designed to treat recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) in patients who have failed or are intolerant to second-line therapy. This Phase II study is examining the optimal dosage, efficacy, safety, and tolerability of HLX43. The drug works by targeting PD-L1 on tumor cells and delivering a DNA topoisomerase I inhibitor payload, administered via intravenous infusion. Patients are being randomized to receive three different doses, and the study is actively recruiting.
HLX07 is a recombinant anti-EGFR humanized monoclonal antibody, sponsored by Shanghai Henlius Biotech, currently undergoing a Phase II clinical study (NCT05513573) for first-line treatment of recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). The study is comparing HLX07 combined with Serplulimab (HLX10, an anti-PD-1 antibody) plus chemotherapy versus placebo plus Serplulimab and chemotherapy. This trial is examining the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of HLX07, which is administered intravenously and engineered to reduce immunogenicity while maintaining high EGFR binding affinity, potentially enhancing immune response and tumor suppression.
